What if Bobby FIscher was alive today and we brought him to post on this forum about his Nazism theories
I think he would potentially be a top poster and bring a lot of new interest to this site.
RIP
He was alive in like 2004 I’m sure there are posts of his out there on some 1488forums.com or something
TreeWonSeven, Benny, and I play Chess quite often - the “game” (Not a game) is anti-intellectual. It’s what stupid people (ian) think is smart.

ELO ~ (10 x IQ) + 1000
The “~” symbol means “given many years of effort will tend to be equal approximately”.
If we plug in 100 IQ (average IQ score) into equation we will get 2000 ELO, meaning that an average person should be rated 2000. However, some chess players (actually most chess players) play their whole life and never reach even 1700, making 2000 mark fall into top 4-5% of all chess players on planet. So, maybe this ‘1000’ term in the equation needs to be decreased somewhat.
Here is an (estimated) list of IQ scores of famous chess players:
Garry Kasparov Chess player Russia 190
Bobby Fischer Chess player USA 187
Donald Byrne Chess Player Ireland 170
Judith Polgar Chess player Hungary 170
Robert Byrne Chess Player Ireland 170
Absolutely wrong
Indeed
